As global warming has become an issue that all human beings have to address, it is time to figure out how to reform our power system such that we can reduce the CO2 emission meanwhile stimulating the development of clean energy, such as wind energy. Because wind energy is not so dispatchable as fossil energy and it is always located in remote areas far away from high-power-demand areas, it is n...

Glycerol is a by-product of biodiesel obtained from biomass, accounting for 10% of the biodiesel production. In the context of a green economy, aiming for a reduction of the emission of atmospheric greenhouse gases emissions, the demand of biodiesel is expected to increase vastly, in parallel with a side glut supply of glycerol. Given the high cost of biodiesel compared with its fossil congener...

Nations around the world rely on the correct and continued functioning of industrial control systems (ICS) to keep economies moving and provide critical services such as electricity and clean water. This paper provides an analysis of the current threat landscape facing ICS. Discussion is provided on the actors involved, their motivations, and specific attack vectors they may use to reach their ...

We perform a comparative study of two methods of determining the survival probabilities of low, intermediate, and high energy solar neutrinos that emphasizes the general agreement between the Large Mixing Angle (LMA) solution and extant solar neutrino data. The first analysis is oscillation parameter-independent and the second analysis involves an approximate calculation of the survival probabi...

China has proposed its 2020 clean energy target together with the climate change target of reducing CO2 intensity of the economy by 40–45% below the 2005 level. This article investigates the feasibility of these targets by testing their consistency under possible economic development scenarios. We analyse these targets from two perspectives: consistency with the overall economic growth and cons...

The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change Paris Agreement has been announced as a crucial step towards combating the global threat of climate change. In light ambitious plans for further renewable energy sources development, high demand nonenergy materials critical RES is greatly expected. conclusion, future security will be surely based commodities them. As this article directl...

the remarkable development of sciences and technologies in the world of]o today has apparently brought mankind comfort and well-being, but it has also created new problems for humans including environmental pollution, widespread changes in world weather conditions, etc. fossil fuels cause numerous environmental pollutions. in other words, on the one hand poisonous gases enter the environment fo...

This paper examines the relationship between clean energy stock indices and metals that are sensitive to growth in demand for solutions, makes inferences about whether can act as hedges or safe havens indices. The sample period is April 2011 2021, a which saw substantial investments into industry capital deployed generation during this was three times higher than preceding decade. main results ...
